thanks!

@skills You trying to get me into this conversation? lol..ok...
The question of a sneaker bubble is very complicated because the sneaker market is not like an free market that we have seen burst - dot com, housing, US economy, etc. The sneaker market is not a free market at all. It is highly...
Great article about the sneakerhead community / market and how it relates to Nike's business model.
This article is actually linked on the ESPN.com homepage in the 538 box, right below the Grantland box (Bill Simmons)...

Yeah - that is the exact point. There's still plenty out there and they are still cheap bc no one realized how much supply was being put into the market in the 80's and 90's. '89 Upper Deck was the first card company that tried to create a premium product with less supply, but they were still...
The rapper comment up above pretty naive...Who has a higher Q score - LeBron or Wale? Kobe or Hulk Hogan? I don't even like rap, but I love sneakers. The basketball players are the true stars. In 10 years it will be Parker and Wiggins and McDermott (jk), but there is a never-ending supply of...
No....def not like the card market....because of the many fundamental differences, one the real important ones is that no one really understood the supply of the cards in the late 80s, early 90s. There were way more cards on the market then we realized. And, at the end of the day, a baseball...
Ha! Thanks!
re...the hype not going anywhere...I agree..Nike is very very good at controlling the supply and demand to ensure constant sellouts and lines around FootLocker at 8am every Saturday, but I do believe that at some point a good chunk of the people who "entered the sneaker game" in...
I guess I'm The Fonz bc we created the Campless Sneaker Price Guide, which is based on over 9 million eBay auctions:

If anyone is curious, we actually built this.
Here is the Campless Sneaker Price Guide: http://sneakerheaddata.wordpress.com/2014/03/05/campless-sneaker-price-guide-03-01-14/
And the rest of our work can be found at www.campless.com
The feedback from those who have seen our work so far has...
Campless is my site. We are working on predictive analytics and believe that historical data is the key input to predict future prices. We have no intention of using our data,specifically, to teach people how to resell. We hope that people will use it for whatever they want. However, to the...
